Hi,
I just have a query relating to my job contract. My job offers the incentive of gaining a pay rise on the successful completion of a Degree. I was given a salary scale and started from the bottom. It shows an asterix beside the third step on salary scale and states exactly "*Starting salary for people with third level degree". The practice was to give the two extra steps to those who did not initially start with a degree but went back and completed one.
Now I completed a third level degree (ordinary) and applied for the increase. It is being refused as they are saying it is only the equivalent of a national diploma and not a level 8. But as it states it clearly as above and does not define it to be an honours degree or level 8 do I still have a case to get the rise? My contract was made in 2004.
I believe the contract should be honoured as it states a degree which is what my qualification is called. Can any legal experts help me out please?
Thank you.
